I was visiting family in Rosemont and stopped in and asked professor Nick to see if I can drop in for a class. He welcome me with open arms and allowed me to trained with his team. Gym mates were all welcoming as well and gave me solid and hard rounds. This is a fantastic gym with friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

PURE Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an amazing place to train! Catherine and Nicholas are high level coaches with decades of experience, coaching, training, and competing in BJJ. They create a welcoming atmosphere for people to grow, challenge themselves, and come together as a community. I know when I travel and go train in other places, I have confidence in the skills that I have learned through them knowing that what I have been taught has been tested. It is TRUE and effective Jiu-Jitsu not only for sport but for self-defense. They have an awesome kids program that is developing high level youth athletes, but also young men and women of character. I look forward to training with my PURE family every week and am grateful to be a student of Catherine and Nicholas Mitria. Thanks PURE!

Pure BJJ has a cool vibe. I visited from out of town for a week and had the pleasure of training in the gi classes. The instructors, Catherine and Nick, are very welcoming and attentive to their students. They give verbal during the rolls. I found all their students white, blue, and purple to be intelligent and courteous partners. On the nights I was there, it was 15% instruction, 40% drilling, and 45% open rolling. I thought that was a great distribution. The school is home to both hobbyists and competitors. I also greatly admired that there were almost equal numbers of women and girls in the class compared to the men. It seems to be an environment in which women can flourish. Lastly, I was impressed with the willingness of the instructors to teach leg locks to their white belts with proper instruction and safety. I look forward to returning to Pure BJJ in the future.
